Just as it’s a happy moment for Beltran, the miss from Evans is disappointing. With the match taking place in his home state of Arizona, he will be unable to play in front of his home fans and could miss out on his chance to impress Klinsmann.

While he would still factor heavily into the World Cup squad, Evans could be in hot water for the starting spot with Geoff Cameron playing very well for Stoke City abroad.

So now, with Evans on the sidelines, it’s a chance for a dark horse candidate to make his mark. He would figure to get a good amount of playing time, jockeying with Michael Orozco, Michael Parkhurst, and youngster DeAndre Yedlin for the 90 minutes at right-back.
